There are some simple things a person should definitely be able to do in their dream which would make having more lucid dreams much easier.
Character Induced Lucid Dreams
You may have heard about Character Induced Lucid Dreams. A dream character tells you you're dreaming, and you become lucid. I've already searched this forum, and people have said that--through no effort on their part--a character told them they were dreaming and became lucid. Though, no one ever mentioned creating a dream character in one dream, and having said character make them lucid the next. If you've done this and you're out there, please share because I didn't find anyone who did.
So, why not create a dream character that would make you lucid every time? It's not the craziest idea I've heard you can do in dreams, and making characters is apparently possible and easy with certain techniques from what I've read about.
However, in my searches, I didn't see this as a recommended technique either due to lack of popularity, or that you have to already be lucid for it to work. But if it did work, think of all the time it would save you.
Ask Your Subconscious the Best Technique
I doubt anyone would argue you can't communicate with your subconscious while lucid. People have even used lucid dreaming to learn secrets about themselves from their subconscious. A very common question is what your dream job is. So why not ask your subconscious these very practical questions that would seriously shorten the learning curve?
1) Why haven't I been able to have lucid dreams before?
2) What mistakes have I been making?
3) Which techniques work the best for me?
4) Can I program my mind to be a master lucid dreamer? (Similar to subliminal messaging, though, with varying results, it does actually work. And since you're interacting directly with your subconscious, it should definitely work)
5) Can I invent a technique that will make me lucid every time I use it?
I can go on and on with varying questions, but here's what sounds like the absolute most practical advice anyone should do when they have their first lucid dream: ask their subconscious these questions, and make a dream character that will help make you lucid every time.
Now, I'm not asking if any of this works. I'll let my own experiences be the judge when I can finally try it. And I'm not saying no one has ever done these things (those who have either haven't mentioned it, or I failed to find their shared experiences). I'm only asking for experiences others may have with this. And that this advice sounds very practical and very possible, and would save a lot of trial and error.
